Such determination shall be made not later than April 1 of each calendar year and, once made,

(Number)
years after the last determination of the value of each Partner's interest in this Partnership in

Article VII.
A. On the death, disability, or voluntary withdrawal of any Partner, the remaining Partners
(any such event referred to as a Withdrawal ), each remaining Partner shall have a first option to
purchase that fractional part of the entire interest of the Withdrawing Partner as the percentage
interest of each such Remaining Partner in this Partnership then bears to the aggregate
percentage interest of all Remaining Partners in this Partnership; in which case the purchase
price due from each such Remaining Partner to the Withdrawing Partner shall be equal to that
same fractional part of the value of the interest of the Withdrawing Partner in the Partnership, as
the value is determined in accordance with the provisions of Article VI. This option must be
exercised within days of notice to the Remaining Partners of the event of death or
(Number)
disability or the Withdrawing Partner's intent to withdraw.
B. If, within a period of days following receipt of notice of a Withdrawal or
(Number)
Amended and Restated Agreement Page 4 of 7
intent to withdraw, any Remaining Partner elects to purchase less than all of the fractional
portion of the entire interest of the Withdrawing Partner that the Remaining Partner has the
option to purchase, and if the other Remaining Partner shall have exercised the Remaining
Partner's first option in full, and within the period of time specified in these Articles of
Partnership the other Remaining Partner shall have a second option to purchase part or all of that
fractional part of the interest of the Withdrawing Partner not elected to be purchased by the other
Remaining Partner pursuant to the first option described above. The second option must be
exercised within a period of days following expiration of the -day period
(Number) (Number)
provided above for exercising the first option. The purchase price due from each Remaining
Partner who timely exercises a second option to acquire part or all of that fractional part of the
entire interest of the Withdrawing Partner which is subject to the option shall be equal to that
fractional part of the value of the interest of the Withdrawing Partner in the Partnership not
elected to be purchased by the other remaining Partner, determined in accordance with the
provisions of Article VI.
C. Payment of the purchase price due from each Remaining Partner to the Withdrawing
Partner, whether pursuant to the timely exercise of the first or second options, shall be on such
terms and conditions as may be mutually agreeable between the Remaining Partners and the
Withdrawing Partner, or the Withdrawing Partner's legal representative. However, if any
Remaining Partners and the Withdrawing Partner, or the Withdrawing Partner's legal
representative cannot agree on the terms and conditions for payment of the purchase price, the
purchase price shall be payable by each Remaining Partner to the Withdrawing Partner, or the
Withdrawing Partner's legal representative in equal annual installments of principal, together
with interest on those amounts at the rate of % per annum. In the latter case, the entire
(Number)
purchase price shall be payable not later than years following the effective date of the
(Number)
Withdrawing Partner's withdrawal from the Partnership.
D. If less than all of the entire Partnership interest of the Withdrawing Partner is purchased
by the Remaining Partners pursuant to the exercise of the first and second options described
above, the Partnership shall nevertheless retain a right of first refusal to purchase that part of the
Partnership interest of the Withdrawing Partner not previously acquired pursuant to the
provisions of this Article VII, for the price and on the same terms and conditions as
subsequently may be offered to the Withdrawing Partner or his Estate, in a bona fide manner, by
any third party unrelated to any Partner or Withdrawn Partner under these Articles of
Partnership. The right of first refusal shall extend for a period of days following
(Number)
receipt from the Withdrawing Partner of written notice of the terms of the third party offer. If the
right to purchase is not exercised by the Partnership within that period, the Withdrawing Partner
then shall possess the right to dispose of the interest on the terms and conditions specified in the
third party offer. If, however, the sale to the third party is for less than the remaining interest or is
not completed, the Partnership's right of first refusal shall begin again.

VIII. The Partnership may, but is not obligated to, purchase life insurance on the lives of the
Partners. The Partnership shall be named as the sole beneficiary of any such policy and shall
make all required premium payments. In no event shall any part of the proceeds of any such life
insurance policy be considered a part of a deceased Partner's interest in this Partnership. In such
case, the life insurance proceeds derived from any life insurance policy purchased by the
Partnership pursuant to this Article VIII shall first be applied against the purchase price for the
entire interest of the Withdrawn Partner in this Partnership. If the proceeds from the policy are
insufficient to purchase the entire interest of the Withdrawn Partner in the Partnership, the
balance of the purchase price for the interest shall be paid in equal monthly installments over a
period not exceeding years from the date of the deceased Partner's death, which
(Number)
installments shall include interest computed at the Applicable Federal Rate in effect at the date of
the deceased Partner's death, as determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 1274(d)
of the Internal Revenue Code, or any successor section of similar import. If the insurance
proceeds exceed the amount necessary to purchase the entire interest, the excess shall be retained
by the Partnership.
Article IX. Except as provided above, no Partner shall, unless all other Partners consent, (a)
assign, mortgage, or sell part or all of his or her share of the Partnership or its capital assets or
any property, or enter into any agreement as a result of which any other person shall become
interested in the Partnership; or (b) do any act detrimental to the best interests of the Partnership,
or which would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business of the Partnership.
Article X. On agreement of all Partners to dissolve this Partnership or the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, the Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs
wound up. Any remaining Partnership property shall be liquidated as soon as possible. The
proceeds received from the sale or liquidation shall be used to discharge all Partnership
liabilities, with the balance divided among the Partners in accordance with their then current
percentage interests in the Partnership as set forth in Article III.
Article XI. These Articles of Partnership shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of,
each party to the Agreement, as well as the party's heirs, executors, administrators, personal
representatives, successors, and assigns. These Articles of Partnership shall be governed by and
